The Daughter of Iris. Heirs of Resurrection, #2

Kayte Rivers was supposed to be dead. The world mourned her as a victim of the racist hate-group known as The Cloaks-the same people who murdered her parents and burned her childhood home to the ground. But Kayte survived the fire, descended into tunnels beneath the barn, and was reborn as Nova Pines, her new identity intended to keep her safe. Now older, stronger, and carrying the trauma of her past, Kayte rescues a mysterious, brutally wounded man-Sebastian King-after witnessing him kill two attackers who were after her.
She should have arrested him. Instead, she saves his life, only to discover he knows her real name. Their pasts intertwine deeper than she ever realized. The story then shifts into Kayte's history:her late-night crew, her found family, the violent pursuit by The Cloaks, the desperate escape at the gas station, the barn siege, and the night everything burned. She loses almost everything-but gains an impossible second life when she is saved by Briella, a divine knight known as a Daughter of Iris.
Kayte is chosen to become one too. This is a story of survival, racial violence, community, found family, divine destiny, rebirth, and the transformation of a hunted girl into a chosen warrior. It is not a romance. It is not a crime thriller. It is an origin myth, a supernatural calling, and a dark historical fantasy wrapped inside a modern framing.
